There are good gay movies out there, but we won't be talking about them. We're three unqualified nobodies who discuss the very worst that gay cinema has to offer. At We Read Movies, we don't just watch movies, we read them for filth.

  • Covering the Important Stuff

    This podcast is funnier than it has any right to be. The hosts break down everything about the queer movies that people like to pretend don’t exist. It’s important to remember the existence of even the trashiest films. But also, this podcast is the reason every time someone starts a question with “Does this movie…”, my brain completes it with “…hang dong?”

  • Thanks, mister Shyamalan

    Knock at the Cabin made me crazy angry and only this podcast could restore my sanity. I came for the validation and stayed for the bewilderment, gay sass, and boner pills.

  • They mostly amuse themselves.

    They don’t talk about bad movies. They rip on whatever happens to catch their attention at the time. I tried listening to a few episodes. They think they are more clever and witty but they sound like that obnoxious table at every gay bar: Listen to us! LISTEN TO US!!!

    Go home. You’re drunk.

No, it's not a movie that's good for gay people as it doesn't positively represent the community and mixes murder with sexuality.
